Synopsis
Excerpt from Thoughts on the Principles of Taxation: With Reference to a Property Tax, and Its Exceptions
"Fidèle à son caractère, Napoléon ne craignit pas, le jour meme où il briguait le trône, de rétablir, sous le nom des droits-réunis, le plus impopulaire, mais le plus utile des impôts.
"Il cn fit la premiere proposition au Conseil d'Etat, et il y Soutint avec une sagacité merveilleuse, comme si les finances avaient éte l'étude de sa vie, les vrais principes de la matierc. A la théorie de I'impot unique, reposant exclusivement sur la terre, exigeant du fermier et du fermier et du proprietaire la totalite de la somme necessaire aux besoins de l'Etat, lcs obligeant a cn faire au moins l'avance dans la supposition la plus favourable pour eux, celle ou le renchérissement des produits agricoles les dedommage de cette avance, - a une théorie aussi follement exageree, il oppose la theorie simple et vraie de l'impôt habiliment diversifie, reposant a la fois sur toutes les proprieties et sur totues les industries, ne demandant a aucune d'elles une portion trop considerable du revenu public, n'amenant par consequent aucun mouvemnet force dans les valeurs, puissant la richesse dans tous les canaux ou elle passé abondamment, et puissant dans chacun de ces canaux, de maniere a ne pas produire un abaissement trop sensible.
"Ce systeme, fruit du temps et de l'experience, n'est susceptible que d'une seule objection: c'est que la diversite de l'impôt entraine la diversite de la perception, et le contraire est si violente, que cette legere augmentation de frais ne saurait être une consideration sérieuse." - Histoire du consulat et de l'Empire, par M. A. Theira, vol. v. p. 162. 8vo. ed.
